History


Brule County was created on January 14, 1875, of territory partitioned from Charles Mix County. Its governing structure was also created at that time. However, in May 1875, Brule County was withdrawn from settlement, by order of US President Grant.[3] This order was later annulled, and the organization of Brule County governing structure was completed in September 1879.[4]

On March 9, 1883, the area of Brule County was slightly increased by an addition of former Buffalo County lands.[5] The total area of Brule County was further increased on June 4, 1891, when American Island (in the Missouri River)[6] was attached to the county (from the Sioux Reservation).[7] Its boundaries have remained unchanged since that date.

Politics


For the first century of South Dakota statehood, the predominately white voters of Brule County favored the Democratic Party. The county favored a Republican presidential candidate on just three occasions between 1896 and 1976. In the national landslide victories of Theodore Roosevelt, Harding and Dwight D. Eisenhower, when each candidate swept every other county in South Dakota, none obtained more than 53.1 percent of Brule County's vote. Richard Nixon, running against favorite son George McGovern in 1972, did not gain 46 percent in Brule County, while he was sweeping all but 129 other counties nationwide.

Since the “Reagan Revolution”, voters in Brule County have shifted to favor Republican presidential candidates. Michael Dukakis in 1988 was the last Democrat to win a majority in Brule County, although Bill Clinton twice obtained a plurality. The past five Republican nominees have won over 58 percent of Brule County's vote.
